Japan overflows with charisma – there’s nothing that this country doesn’t do just a little bit better than everyone else: food, design, trains, hospitality, cocktails – heck, even knives and denim!
With so many extraordinary versions of everything, planning a trip to Japan is intimidating. How can you guarantee that you'll experience the best of it?
Let Elsewhere by Lonely Planet, our boutique travel-planning service, do the heavy lifting (here’s how it works). To celebrate the holidays, Elsewhere is also offering $500 off your trip when you book during the month of December. Just share the code "GIFTOFTRAVEL" with your expert before completing your payment. You can make a request and explore all of their destinations here.
This spring, food influencer and cookbook author Dan Pelosi (aka GrossyPelosi) is taking an Elsewhere-planned trip to Japan (just in time for cherry blossom season in Kawazu). We have an early look at his bespoke itinerary, which we hope will inspire you to book a trip of your own for 2025. Or do like Dan did and let Elsewhere take care of it for you.
